According to what I'm reading about these warnings, no, that wouldn't be a
good idea.  However, you can build against the static RTL easy enough.  In
the $BOOST_ROOT/libs/thread/build directory issue the following bjam
command:

bjam -sBUILD="<runtime-link>static"

I used to build against both RTLs, but that just makes testing more
difficult, while it's easy enough for users to specify the build variants
they prefer using the above.
